We loved our stay. The yurt was clean, everything accessible to make our stay easy. Short drive to Bar Harbor for dinner and shopping. Short drive to Acadia Park. 10/10 we would absolutely stay again. I have to say that the tankless water heater was greatly appreciated when there were 4 of us showering to get ready.
We had the most amazing week staying in this yurt! The space was cozy, peaceful, and just what we needed to unwind and enjoy nature. The owners were incredibly lovely and accommodating, so friendly, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. We truly couldnât have been more excited to be there. Our two kids loved it! Everything was perfect, and weâre already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend!
This was the most amazing experience. Everything was perfect. We had everything we needed and was able to take a five minute drive to a nearby IGA for food and supplies, and had lovely restaurants nearby. We enjoyed the short drive to the bottom of Long Pond for hiking and a peaceful, beautiful place to read and sit to start and end our days. The campground was just so peaceful and beautiful. I highly recommend.
Everything about this rental was what I had hoped for. Sturdy, warm, well-appointed yurt with thoughtful amenities. Pristine, serene, well-maintained property. Friendly, responsive yet unintrusive owners. Convenient to the park but tucked away. Fantastic wellness center with a myriad of offerings and classes. Highly, highly recommended!
The yurt was very clean, and it was such a fun place to stay! We were only there for 3 nights, and with so much to do in the area, we just didn't have time to take full advantage of everything that Acadia Yurts has to offer (fire pit, wellness center, etc), but we'll definitely plan another (longer) stay there!
We had a lovely stay in our yurt. It literally had all the amenities you would ever want or need. I would highly recommend staying here over touristy Bar Harbor.
Loved our stay at Acadia Yurts. The yurt was very well, equipped, and the location was fantastic on the quiet side of the island. Very easy location to access the park as well as lots of other local features. The entire property was fantastic. Very close to a fantastic coffee shop.
Acadia Yurts is a fantastic place to stay. It is glamping to the max. The yurt was very clean and well equipped. It is close enough to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park that you can get there quickly, yet it is far enough away that you can enjoy the peace and quiet of being in the woods. I highly recommend staying at Acadia Yurts.
This yurt had everything we needed and much more room than a hotel room. Very peaceful area and not far from the main road at all. This gave the camping feel yet had the nice amenities to go with.
It was away from the park loop road which we thought it was going to be an issue, but we spent half of our time on this side anyways so it worked out for the location. The host gave lots of good places to go also in their book. If I went to Acadia again I would stay here.
What a great experience ... staying in a Yurt. Location was good. Karen & Aaron were very helpful, courteous and accommodating. The yoga class was great.
This location was the perfect place to stay while hiking in Acadia. We were 20 minutes away from any desired location and were able to use the wellness center amenities to recover from the trails. The yurts were also a super high quality with all our needs provided. One of our favorite parts was getting morning air on our âporchâ eating bagels and drinking the great coffee provided by the hosts!
I am not a camper anymore but the Yurt made it feel like I was. We had plenty of space and the amenities of home. The Yurt was up to date in comfort and in a quiet area. I would definitely stay here again.
This was the first time that my bf and I stayed in a yurt, and we both loved it! The yurt was very clean and much more spacious than I was expecting. The week we stayed had cooler temps and the heater in the yurt had no issues maintaining a cozy 70 degrees. The hosts provided wonderful recommendations for restaurants and hikes and responded timely to our questions. We would definitely recommend to anyone whoâs interested in glamping!
We loved staying in the yurt. It had everything we needed and Karen was so quick to respond. The bed was amazingly firm which was a must. The water heater worked very well and the âneighborhoodâ was quiet and serene. A much needed respite allowing us to relax and get away to the woods of Acadia National Park. Thanks for the experience!
The yurt was a lot roomier than most hotels and is located in a much more peaceful atmosphere. If you are looking for something tucked away from the overcrowded hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor, then this yurt's for you. Hosts were very helpful and responsive. Environment controls (AC / heat) worked great and did not ever feel uncomfortable. The property is lovely and quiet.
Aaron is an Maine native. He was born and raised across the bridge in Trenton and grew up attending local Bar Harbor schools. He has worked in the restaurant industry for the past 15+ years beginning as a prep cook in high school then moving toward general manager. Aaron's favorite extracurricular activity is learning all he can about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. As often as he can, he trains locally and loves sharing this passion with others.
Karen is a transplant. Originally from Chicago she made her way to Maine in 2009 and fell in love immediately. In Acadia she enjoys hiking, trail running, yoga, and long walks on the carriage roads. Karen has been teaching yoga locally for over 6 years and now brings her practice to the Wellness Center (located on site at Acadia Yurts). Karen is also a licensed massage therapist and offers services onsite.
As a couple we have done quite a bit of traveling and through that we have narrowed down the particular way we like to travel. The biggest factor for us is having a furnished kitchen in order to prepare health minded foods to nourish our bodies and support all our outdoor activities. The idea for Acadia Yurts has been brewing for quite some time. Friends of ours live off the grid in a yurt and we greatly appreciate the rustic, romantic feel of the yurt but wanted some of the comforts of home- running water, heat, electricity. From there Acadia Yurts was born. We deeply hope you enjoy our home as much as we do!!
